    Genuinely thought we were going to get to see and hear the full splashdown.
    Great video as ever. Really cool bloke you bumped into at the start.

      Hahaha I thought About a warts and all approach, but it turns out warts aren't very nice. That Ricky fella? Seems like a great guy!

    Finally got round to this video. Was wet and cold to watch, my partner Stuart came 6th and he said it was so tough that day. We saw you both a couple of times getting onto rides, we must of been following you 🤣 But to far to shout hi. Great video as always. Well done both of you

      Aahhh I wonder if that was you that shouted my name at the start??? Sorry I missed you guys! That's amazing that he did so well. It's a seriously hard course!! Thanks for watching ❤️

      @runningwithandy4486 It was 🤣 I just spotted you and panicked shouted. Missed Brett on both laps though. It looked It, especially on that second lap. You all did so well 👏 Looking forward to plenty of more videos in 2024

    A good effort. I've done what you did three times in a race. Needs must. Tell Brett to get some regular content up. He's good value 😂

    Great effort Andy! You’ve had a pretty packed race schedule so this time is seriously good 👌💪

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Harry, that course is not good for you mentally if you're not at the top of your game... It's basically a rollercoaster underneath your feet 🤣 I was just glad to get through!

      Thank you - it's such a crazy route with difficult elevation, in poor weather too didn't help at all!

    Well done on your Poo.B Andy! Jokes aside that was a fantastic effort for a challenging race in wet conditions 💪 watched this on the train to work and it set me up for the day 🙌 Love your channel mate

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci

      Nice one Mike! I wonder how it compared to your Thorpe park one, I'm interested to try that one day. Nice one for the support!

      That's for my only fans mate 😎 Or should I set up a company called Pootreon?

  • @gavinbruce-thegreyrunner5581

    Well done Andy. Every runs a great run just some are quicker than others. Was funny seeing Tim set off at the start - MARM sure does run those Half’s quick😂. Great stuff mate

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Nice one Gav. He's a great bloke and a really good runner. Excited to see what he gets up to next year!

    Man, you & Brett are beasts ! Great times mate. I also ran a half on Nov. 12th. It was my 7th half & my 1st ever sub 2 ! 1:59:33 !!! Super excited about that time ! Glad to see you're back Andy !

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci +1

      That's great to hear, bagging that sub 2 is such a massive confidence booster, well done! ❤️

    • @JoeBucks
      @JoeBucks Před 7 měsíci

      @runningwithandy4486 It really is !!!! Been chasing it & didn't think I would achieve it so soon. Thanks Andy !!!! 👍

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Love that you did it with a few seconds to spare too, you must have paced it well!

    • @JoeBucks
      @JoeBucks Před 7 měsíci

      @runningwithandy4486 For my 1st time ever I ran super close to the 2 hour pacer. Just wanted to get a PB, which would have been anything under 2:07:45. Felt great & stayed near the pacer almost whole race !

  • @markg99

    Paula surely will be honored you mentioned her in your video :D But with you poo stop and your shoe lace undone, I think 1h47min is a brilliant time! Well done man!

    Well done Andy great time. Interestingly you got faster when you got lighter😊.

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci

      Hahaha science doesn't lie 🤣 I'm so glad I addressed the problem rather than trying to carry on.

  • @cathytate5766

    I thought Paula went on the side of the road - at least you went in a loo 😊

    • @itsonandy

      There is that... God knows how she ever lived that down! What a woman!

      🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought I'd spare you all the experience...

  • @MrCol104
    @MrCol104 Před 7 měsíci

    Well done. 5 min improvement on last year isn’t so shabby.
    Poop stops happen - had a few myself down the years. Taking few minutes out for loo can actually gain you time, rather trying to run through it.
    All things considered, it was a good day. Not perfect but not much in life is.

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I'm so glad I sorted the problem rather than hoping it just went away! Thanks for watching ❤️

  • @PaulBeverley
    @PaulBeverley Před 7 měsíci

    Well done! That is some result in the cold and rain. I ran Winchester Half in 2019 and it gashed down fifteen mins from the start and we were all soaking wet and our core temperatures plummeted and we stood there doing static stretches. Ran through the City, put my feet in two deep potholes full of rain water and then moaned all the way to the end, to finish wrapped in a foil and being led to a coffee shop for warmth after 2hr 08 mins. So I commend you for your run! It maybe too far for Brett but I would recommend the Farnborough Half on 21st Jan 2024 if you want a fast run. This year it was minus 5 but the run around the airport and then around the roads is super fast. Good luck for 2024 !

    • @itsonandy
      @itsonandy  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Paul, and well done on your Winchester race, stories like that trump having a perfectly eventless day out I think, as you'll never forget it. Just hoping that doesn't happen again for you! I'll have a think about Farnborough, I've never raced in Jan so that could be fun. I'll inform Brett too 😎
